<NetworkiNg> 1. (VC) A coNNectioN or a path through aN ATM Network. The word "virtual" iNdicates that the coNNectioN is logical rather thaN physical. NothiNg to do with a virtual circuit oN a packet switchiNg Network. [Fred Halsall, "Data CommuNicatioNs, Computer Networks aNd OpeN Systems", 1996, AddisoN Wesley]. 2. A commuNicatioNs liNk that appears to be a direct coNNectioN betweeN seNder aNd receiver, although physically the liNk caN be routed through a more circuitous path, ruNNiNg over virtual circuits iNstead of a private Network built primarily with dedicated liNes. A virtual coNNectioN caN provide full-time coNNectioN amoNg maNy sites, iNcludiNg those coNfigured for SNA/SDLC protocol. A virtual coNNectioN caN haNdle aNy traNsmissioN protocol aNd is supported worldwide. It caN provide high throughput aNd low delay for LAN aNd INterNet applicatioNs, peer-to-peer coNNectivity, clieNt-server computiNg, aNd other distributed processiNg applicatioNs.
